That depends on how strong your password was.

If your password was 4 letters long and made up of ONLY a single real word with lowercase letters then, yes, your password can be cracked.

If your password was 34 characters long and made up of a completely random string of upper case, lower case, numbers, and symbols then, no, your password will never be cracked.

If your password was somewhere between those two extremes then you'll need to explain how you generated or chose your password before we can tell you if it can be cracked.

BTW, How about private key? Basically, you can import your priv. key in some other wallet & regain access. -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1353528.msg13782002#msg13782002 .Furthermore, care to te'mme your(present/current) wallet(service) name?

Hopefully, you know what the password should have been but maybe you are one character off or the capitalization is off. These common mistakes are the most likely reason that you are locked out of your wallet. If you have no idea of what the password is, the wallet would need to be brute forced cracked which is currently not an option for bitcoin wallets. Read more below why brute force will not work

Like what others told how much strong did you put your password do you remember which type of password you usually do, like this their are some questions if you answer it then 99% we can crack your password if it really belongs to you.

you said you lost it, is that mean you saved it in a file then it's been deleted by someone or you totally forgot your password and never saved in in a file or a note before?
if yes, I think it's a little difficult to crack because some wallets make something like "anti thief" like confirm when you login by email

You're talking about third-party wallets, like web-wallet. I think that here we're talking about a common wallet, like Bitcoin Core or Electrum.

If you remember part of your password, you can ask someone who knows Python or another language to hack into your wallet. Other than that, you're out of luck.
